Grandma just won $10M

A Northern B.C. grandma is a millionaire 10 times over after matching all six numbers in the April 3 Lotto 6/49 draw.

Vivienne Mills won $10 million and says she can’t wait to share the life-changing money with her two children and four grandchildren. 

“I want to set the kids and the grandkids up right away,” Mills told BC Lotteries. “We’re looking forward to paying off our grandkids’ education, their student loans and helping them buy a house.”

Mills says she couldn’t believe her luck at first. 

“I got an email notification saying I won a prize. I was expecting to see a free ticket, maybe a dollar,” said Mills. “Then I saw a lot of zeros and thought I was seeing things, so I woke up my husband and asked him to look.

"My husband was shocked. We’re both still shocked.”

After sharing with family, Mills says she'd like to buy a new car.
